The animal world influenced the whole collection, which is based on the spirit and essence of these creatures in terms of the strength and complexity they represent. I was inspired by the intangible aspects of animals to represent them in every item in order to avoid a literal translation or specific texture. I was attracted by the idea of what we feel when we see certain animals and being able to express those feelings such as strength, spirit, complexity, simplicity, fluency and purity.

In respect to the ethnic influence, I think it is something that comes together with the animal side. Every culture is related somehow to the animal world and this time I took mainly the aspects of American ethnics in general, which are highly linked to this world. Formal, pictoric and iconic representations of these cultures were taken, like geometric shapes as triangles, squares, zigzag and circles. Again the complexity composed of pure and basic shapes is shown to create a harmonic and solid result.

Finally, the rock world influence gave the final imprint of the collection. As everyone else, I´m very sensitive to the surrounding world and it influences me in my creations. For almost one year I was sharing my working place with a big rocker girl and I believe that is clearly expressed in the final appearance of my collection, even though it has nuances. The formal aspect and the kind of items in the collection are completely influenced by rock, which by the way is a very strong and full of spirit trend that embraces the animal.

I think that the animal world and its surroundings are the guiding threads in many of my works. My previous collection “Like fish in water”, developed aspects form the aquatic world and in my new collection I developed the earth world. However, there is silhouettes and patterns that remain beyond collections and modify themselves to highlight the aspects linked to the working theme.

Collection “Como pez en el agua”

Collection “Instinto”

¿En qué se diferencia de colecciones anteriores? / In which way is it different from your previous collections?

Another big difference of this collection is that it is completely conceived to be worn every day. Somehow this collection is more “easy going” and for every occasion, with items that can be worn as basics and chameleons which provide can be worn at day and night.

Furthermore, the inclusion of printed fabrics is something new for Texturable this year, where we used silk screen printing and sublimation for the different materials. The use of leather is also an audacity in this collection, where old leather items and factory waste products were recycled and some of them were printed with reptile skin textures.

I think the use of woollen fretwork was a great innovation; I worked with both knitted woollen fabrics and wool roving, obtaining very nice results. I took one step forward with fretwork which was finally knitted mixing both techniques.

On the other hand, the mini-fretworks obtained using thread cones represented a novel technique never seen before.
